Emoticon – e\u00b7mo\u00b7ti\u00b7con, noun (i-\u02c8m\u014d-ti-\u02cck\u00e4n)
\n: a group of keyboard characters (as :-)) that typically represents a facial expression or suggests an attitude or emotion and that is used especially in computerized communications (as e-mail)<\/p><\/blockquote>\nHello, my name is TerriAnn and I am addicted to emoticons aka smilies. I have a hard time writing any communication without using some sort of \ud83d\ude42 or \ud83d\ude1b or \ud83d\ude00 or \ud83d\ude41 to conclude each sentence. I know it’s not the most professional practice but, otherwise, communication seems so dry. <\/p>\n
There’s also the thought that some written ideas can be misinterpreted and the added punctuation can soften or add emotion to an otherwise kurt statement. There is such a thing as overdoing it (when people add one after every phrase) but one nicely placed smiley can add a new dimension to the comment. Yes, they have even crept into my casual text messages. Some may see a ^_^ as somewhat\u00a0kitsch\u00a0but I rather like them. What about you?<\/p>\n
